Donna Hanelin's Creative Writing Classes

"...the value I want to recommend today is precisely this. In an age when other fantastically speedy, widespread media are triumphing, and running the risk of flattening all communication into a single, homogenous surface, the function of literature is communication between things that are different simply because they are different, not blunting but even sharpening the differences between them, following the true bent of written language."

—Italo Calvino, Six Memos for the Next Millennium
